Experience It! The Northern Lights
Each year, during the winter months, travelers journey to Iceland and venture out
into the dark to see the magical but elusive northern lights (aurora borealis). This
natural phenomenon is the product of collisions between electrically charged
particles from the sun that enter the earth's atmosphere; the results are
spectacular! Streaks of colorful light appear across the sky. The colors can vary
from white to pink or purple and, most commonly, green. It is known that the
best time to witness the lights in Iceland is from late September to mid-April,
when the nights are the longest. This light show is truly dazzling and worth the
pursuit.
Please Note:
Single accommodations are limited and are
available on a first come, first served basis.
Buses, which may not be lavatory equipped,
may be used on this program. In this case,
frequent stops are made during travel periods.
The days and order of sightseeing may change
to best utilize your time on tour.
Hotel check-in on your day of arrival is 3:00

This tour includes moderate physical activity.
The itinerary blends some longer days with
shorter days and more leisure time. Walking
tours, as well as walking slightly longer
distances, up stairs or on uneven walking
surfaces should be expected.
Due to flight schedules, a post night may be
required in some Iceland Air gateway cities (at
an additional cost). Please inquire at time of
reservation.
Please be advised many airlines do not
provide advance seat assignments until checkin at the airport. Advance seating will be

The northern lights are in the Northern
Hemisphere from September through April and
only visible when the sky is clear and free of
clouds. As this tour is weather dependent,
sightings of the northern lights are not
guaranteed. Because they are a winter event,
you need to be prepared to walk and wait
outdoors while looking for them. It is
recommended that you wear sturdy non-slip
snow footwear and warm clothing including
thermals, hat, scarf and gloves. You should
also bring a flashlight which is helpful in the
dark and when operating your camera at night.
Using a tripod is recommended for taking the
best photos.
